July 31, 2006: The Incredible Plush Discworld

This is Brighid Hurtubise. We met her at Conclave in New Zealand, along with her father, Josef. This is their project, which, without disrespect to the wonders of Weta Workshop, was the neatest thing we saw that whole weekend: the Incredible Plush Discworld.

In this photo, you can see Great A'Tuin, the huge turtle, who has his own convention nametag. You can see the blue water flowing over the edge of the Discworld where it sits atop the four elephants. You cannot see the actual Discworld map from this angle, because, of course, it's FLAT.
